Switch apps instantly with muscle memory
SpatialDock uses fixed app positioning and key shortcuts to speed up app switching.
Fixed spatial positioning ...
Each app maintains its exact position across all sessions.
Your brain naturally builds spatial
maps.
After a few uses, your eyes know exactly where to look, eliminating the cognitive load
of visual searching.
... mapped on your keyboard layout
The apps grid matches your keyboard layout. Your fingers know exactly where to go.
Press any letter to switch instantly
Multiple Activation Methods
Mac modifier keys (like Right Command)
Select apps directly with letter keys without multiple tab presses.
Alt+Tab: Works like macOS Cmd+Tab, selecting the most recently used app with each Tab press, while still allowing direct app selection with letter keys.
Focus and Launch Apps
By pressing app shortcut letter
By clicking on app icon
By using Tab to navigate through most recently used apps
With arrow keys for spatial navigation through apps
Two Docks Organization
SpatialDock has two docks for your apps:
The primary dock (at the top) should contain your most used apps,
which you can switch/launch easily using their assigned key shortcuts.
At first start this dock is empty, so you need to assign your most used apps to keys.
The secondary dock (at the bottom) contains all other apps. Since you may have many applications, this dock is multiline.
You can activate this dock by using the "switch dock" key (comma by default).
You can move apps between docks using mouse drag and drop.
Window Position and Size
Choose the size and position of the SpatialDock window.
This allows you to switch apps without having SpatialDock window in your way.

Because macOS Cmd+Tab and Mission Control change app positioning each time they are invoked, turning app
switching into visual scanning on screen.
This interrupts your flow especially if you switch frequently between apps.
